The Blues ended up winning the game 4-1 in the end after a bit of a Cole Palmer masterclass in the second half, providing two beautiful assists for his team mates to grab crucial goals.

Although head coach Enzo Maresca is once again not willing to get carried away after this by insisting that Chelsea’s target for next season is not going to be winning the Champions League!

A new striker has always been the priority, and it is a new striker that they are set to welcome very soon in the shape of Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, who has been widely expected to join for a while now.

David Orsntein reports on The Athletic at the weekend that Chelsea have reached an agreement with Liam Delap over personal terms and the striker will join from Ipswich Town on a contract that runs until 2031, subject to completing his medical checks.

It is expected to be the start of a flurry of new arrivals at Chelsea in this summer window, and more could arrive in the next 15 days before the Club World Cup starts and the window temporarily shuts for a short time.
